Parking A D3 in a Hercules - it's possible - Video Now Added

On Saturday the ITV show 'Ultimate Force' hasd an amusing scene where the commanding officer drove up to and then into a Hercules in his seemingly black D3 with Xenons.

Pretty cool 8) but no evidence of them lashing it down - must be very happy with the reliability of the electronic parking brake!

Well, I've personnally parked (And lashed down...) a 130 in a C160 Transall...

The D3 should be easy... Wink After all, it is lower, shorter and, probably, not as wide a 130... Wink

But I would lash it down tight ! The risk is not only of the vehicle moving back or forward, but also up and down... Confused Mad

It was a blinged up HSE, and to my prejudiced eyes seemed to be a case of 'multitasking lipstick application whilst driving' or some such. It was near Rowsley Bar on the Chatsworth road. No real damage other than scratches, and the road itself wasn't a fast section.

I may be wrong, but the shot in the car didn't appear to have the lights on .. Can't see the dash / speedo light ??
 ..............Somewhere in-between my old D3 and what's to come next .........

Was the in-car shot taken just before it enters? Could be the auto lights?
